What causes stunting?

The causes of stunting include genetic factors, perinatal factors, malnutrition, disease effects, and drug factors. Symptomatic depending on the cause**.

1.Hereditary factors: Mainly due to the patient's genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, which lead to the patient's neurological development. Growth can be boosted through balanced nutrition, increased exercise, and adequate sleep.

2.Perinatal factors: For example, when the mother is pregnant, infectious diseases occur due to factors such as viruses, bacteria or parasites, which endanger the health of the fetus.

Secondly, during pregnancy, the mother is traumatized and the fetus is damaged. Ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy occurs at the time of delivery, which can also lead to stunting. It is recommended to choose the appropriate ** method under the guidance of a doctor.

3.Malnutrition: Insufficient nutrient intake or malabsorption can lead to malnutrition in your child, which can directly affect your child's normal development.

4.Disease effects: If there is chronic diarrhea, chronic anti-** fever, iron deficiency, etc., it can also cause stunting.

5.Drug factors: There are many drugs that affect development in clinical practice, such as anti-tumor drugs, drugs that affect metabolism, etc. It is recommended to stop or reduce the use of these drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

There are many other causes of stunting, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time and under the guidance of a doctor**.

When a child is stunted, it is usually due to a number of factors. And these factors usually have a lot of influence on children. It can also affect the child's physical and mental health.

Due to their own problems, children have low self-esteem, autism and other unhealthy psychological states. What are the causes of stunting? Let's find out.

1. If there is a deficiency of growth hormone, the child's height will be lower than that of children of the same age, the growth rate will be reduced, the bone age will be backward and the appearance will be more naïve. With hypothyroidism, such children will experience slowed growth, constipation, delayed bone age, and roughness. There will also be other endocrine diseases, such as abnormal metabolism of vitamin D and diabetes, which will affect the child's growth and development.

2. If the family is short and both parents are short, the child will also inherit the height of the parents. The baby is very thin at birth and does not catch up with normal children of the same age after two years, and this time needs to be used for growth hormone**.

3. Some children will also have slow growth if they have chromosome-related diseases. If you have long-term diarrhea and kidney disease, it will cause excessive consumption. The child's body nutrition cannot keep up, and it will also be prone to slow growth.

4. If the diet is unreasonable, the amount of food will be insufficient, and then the patient's eating will be problematic and there will be a lack of nutrition. The child's growth and development will be stunted, malnutrition will cause the body to be unable to keep up with various conditions, and some diseases will appear, causing the body to suffer.

It is usually due to malnutrition, trace element deficiency, insufficient secretion of growth hormone, and abnormal thyroid function.

At present, there are many causes of stunting in children, such as genetic factors, pregnancy factors, nutrition and distribution, as well as chronic diseases and endocrine diseases.

In terms of genetic factors, it is mainly manifested as familial short stature, or short stature of parents.

In terms of pregnancy factors, pregnant women's nutrition, drugs, emotions, radiation environment and other factors can have a great impact on the growth and development of the fetus, and in terms of nutrition and distribution, children's nutritional supply is insufficient, nutrients are unbalanced, and they also play a very important role in growth and development, and related endocrine diseases, such as hypothyroidism, can also lead to developmental retardation.

There are many causes of neonatal stunting, such as maternal factors, fetal factors, placental factors, and endocrine factors.

Maternal factors, maternal age, or too young malnutrition, severe anemia, trace element deficiency or primary gestational hypertension, advanced diabetes, chronic lung and kidney disease, smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, use of drugs that damage the fetus, exposure to radiation, etc.

Fetal factors, twin or multiple chromosomal diseases, congenital malformations, intrauterine infections, gender and fetal placental factors, fetal nutrient intake from the mother, fetal size and placental growth are also directly related.

Endocrine factors, congenital defects of any hormone can lead to fetal growth retardation.

Stunting, most of which are congenital, must be due to insufficient hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

The causes of child stunting include genetic factors such as hypoxia during the fetal period, environmental factors, disease effects, etc., as follows, first, genetic factors, such as congenital hypercortisolism, belong to chromosomal inheritance, can, cause, familial stature, small, developmental delay, second, fetal hypoxia during fetal period, fetal distress during pregnancy, or asphyxia after the birth of the child hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, or cerebral hemorrhage, may cause the child's growth retardation, so it needs to be paid attention to, pregnancy health care, Prevent hypoxia conditions, and precautions are required to prevent the appearance of conditions, nutrients. Lack of protein or essential vitamins and trace elements, etc., may cause children's growth and development stunting, so it is necessary to pay attention to a balanced diet, supplement a variety of vitamins and trace elements, ensure that meat, eggs and milk, these nutrients intake, fourth, disease effects such as, endocrine diseases including hypothyroidism, etc., may cause children's growth and development retardation, so there are many reasons for children's growth retardation, which need to be given according to different reasons**.

There are many stunting **, and the common ones are the following:

1. Growth hormone deficiency: growth hormone deficiency or lack of growth hormone usually causes stunting. Growth hormone deficiency or short stature, including idiopathic short stature, is better than comorbidity with other problems.

Growth hormone problems may be combined with hypothyroidism, pituitary gland problems, blood glucose metabolism problems, and blood lipid metabolism problems, which may significantly affect growth and development;

2. Endocrine diseases: including thyroid diseases, pituitary gland diseases, etc., which will also affect growth and development;

3. Congenital factors: such as Chubby Willi syndrome, Kamei syndrome, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, if there are these factors or congenital diseases, enzyme deficiencies, chromosomal abnormalities, will lead to developmental retardation.

To sum up, in the clinical examination of whether there is growth retardation or whether there are growth and development problems, endocrine-related diseases should be excluded, and the whole gene screening should be done to understand congenital genetic problems. After the diagnosis is as clear as possible, the slow state of growth and development is improved, so that the patient can catch up with the growth and development of his peers as soon as possible.

1. There are many causes of brain retardation, in fact, kernicterus is a very common cause of brain retardation: it is an important factor for brain retardation, but now due to the progress of perinatal medicine, the proportion of cerebral palsy caused by kernicterus has decreased. 2. Causes of brain development retardation include cerebral hypoxia and ischemia:

Therefore, any person who can cause blood circulation and gas exchange disorders between the mother and the fetus, or cause neonatal arterial hypotension and venous congestion, may cause cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in brain damage and cerebral palsy. 3. Causes of brain retardation include low birth weight infants, including premature infants and full-term infants.

These infants all have varying degrees of intrauterine growth retardation. At the same time, it also affects the development of the central nervous system, and is often complicated by subependymal hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage, the latter is easy to cause spastic bilateral paralysis, which can easily lead to brain development retardation and inability to sit. 4. The causes of brain retardation also include congenital abnormal factors, including abnormal brain development caused by various reasons, such as congenital hydrocephalus caused by neural tube insufficiency, flat gyrus malformation caused by total forebrain and neural tissue migration disorder caused by brain vecuolar evolution and development disorder, megaencephaly gyrus malformation and small polyencephaly gyrus, etc., including hylucitic septum absence or hypoplasia caused by joint disorders.

5. Other factors of brain retardation include: maternal factors: such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, heart failure, massive bleeding, anemia, shock or drug abuse, drug overdose, placental abnormalities

Placental abruption, placenta previa, placental infarction, or placental dysfunction are also causes of brain retardation.

The causes of stunting mainly include the following aspects: the first aspect is caused by our genes, the second is that we can also cause stunting due to lack of oxygen in the process of the fetus, and the third is caused by some of our acquired environments, such as our poor living conditions, lack of nutrition, and lack of exercise in some of our patients, etc., these reasons can lead to stunting.

In addition, our developmental delay can also have language delay, many language delays may be caused by autism, and some patients may also have developmental delay due to being in an environment where there is no dialogue for a long time. So the main causes of stunting are the aspects that we just mentioned.

The causes of stunting include genetic factors, which are closely related to the genetics of the parents because of the physique, and if there is not enough nutrition, it is easy to cause stunting, or it is affected by some chronic diseases, which can easily cause stunting.

Chronic malnutrition diseases, as well as endocrine diseases, can cause stunting, such as growth hormone deficiency and hypothyroidism.

It may be that the individual itself develops slowly, or it may not keep up with nutrition, or it is not exercising.

There are many causes of stunting in children, including congenital and acquired factors, such as genetics, nutrition, environment, disease and other factors.

It may be that there is a deficiency of growth hormone, and you can go to the hospital for a check-up.

The causes of stunting include, first of all, genetic factors, because the constitution is closely related to the genetics of the parents, and in addition, if the child's nutrition is insufficient, it is easy to cause stunting.

The pathogenesis of stunting is extremely complex, and can be divided into normal growth variability growth retardation and pathological growth retardation, intrauterine dysplasia, chromosomal abnormalities Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, etc. are the common causes, and the disease is more likely to occur in people with family history, endocrine abnormalities, pituitary tumors, and metabolic disorders.

First, the main **.

1. Normal growth variability growth retardation: 80% to 90%, such as familial short stature, constitutional development delay and low birth weight short stature, which are related to congenital genetic factors or intrauterine dysplasia; Its growth rate is basically normal, and it does not require special **; However, for such children, parents should still create good acquired external conditions to promote the maximum development potential.

2. Pathological growth retardation: 10% to 20%, such as chromosomal abnormalities caused by Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, metabolic diseases mucopolysaccharidosis, bone diseases osteochondral hypoplasia, chronic systemic diseases, chronic malnutrition diseases, endocrine diseases (such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism), etc.

2. Predisposing factors.

Malnutrition, environment, etc. are common predisposing factors of the disease, and malnutrition leads to insufficient material and energy required for the growth of the body, affecting growth; Adverse environments can affect the body's development.

There are many causes of stunting, the first of which is that some of them are normal variations, such as the general short stature in the family, in which case the child has a higher chance of developing short stature than the normal person.

Second, pathological causes, such as the child's presence of a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down syndrome, or Turner's syndrome, or the child's presence of a metabolic disorder, such as congenital hypothyroidism, or a skeletal disorder, such as osteochondrodysplasia.

Third, there are some children due to chronic diseases, chronic malnutrition diseases or children have endocrine diseases, such as growth hormone deficiency, which can lead to growth retardation in children.

There are genetic factors, but also dietary habits and lifestyle factors.

Various unfavorable factors in daily life may affect development to varying degrees, generally speaking, they can be divided into these types:1genetic factors; 2.

Perinatal harmful factors, such as: congenital infection, preterm birth, dystocia, neonatal diseases, etc.; 3.Growth hormone deficiency.

The causes of stunting include, first of all, genetic factors, because of the close relationship between physical constitution and parents' legacy, in addition, children's insufficient nutrition will also easily cause stunting, or be affected by some chronic diseases, it is easy to cause slow growth. There are many reasons for children's slow growth, which are related to their own physique or genetics, and are also closely related to some external factors, so they must be timely.

Suggestions: 1. You must supplement more nutrients in your usual diet and eat a balanced diet. 2. Enhance physical fitness, do more sports, and make children feel comfortable.
